Day sixty-seven (67/100)

of @the-wip-project‘s challenge

Q67: How do you get through the fire swamp?

A67: When I feel this way, especially if I feel like deleting an entire section or chapter, I get up and away. Go for a walk, if I can leave the house, or otherwise take a break from my writing. Then I do something useful like the dishes. If I have time to continue writing, I give myself a 15 minute window to write the scene I’ve been struggling with. Just bang it out and only look at that scene again in a week or so.

It was so nice to see Clarke happy! I think she smiled more in this scene than in the all the episodes since 3x07 combined.

Happy fanfiction writers appreciation day!

To any new writers: Be brave! Take the plunge and post your fics - the world can’t wait to read them, and I’m sure they’re wonderful! And if you’ve already done so, then congratulations, and welcome to the world of writing!

To any old writers: Thank you, and keep going! Your fics are appreciated and enjoyed, and hopefully whatever comes next is as loved as it deserves to be!

To the popular writers: Well done on getting your work out there! It’s wonderful to see fics with so many notes, and I hope your next fic is just as appreciated!

To the writers who get 3 notes: Your work is no less amazing than those who get thousands of notes. Keep going, because there are people who adore what you write. You are fantastic and loved.

To the writers who post fics regularly: You are incredible, and should be both admired and feared. Well done for your wonderful work ethic, and for bringing quality writing to your fandoms!

To the writers who update irregularly: You are brilliant. Writing is hard, and just because you don’t update frequently doesn’t detract from the fact that you’re incredible people who are writing for nothing but pleasure. I hope your writing is going well, and that you know that your fics (and you!) are loved.

To the writers who have lost their inspiration: Don’t worry! Inspiration comes and goes, and hopefully your enthusiasm for your fics will come back. Until then, know that the writing you’ve already done is wonderful, and if you decide to continue, it’ll be fantastic.

To every writer: Thank you ❤️

Excellent list! I encourage you to read one of my all time fave cannon clexa fics <a href="http://archiveofourown.org/works/4218687"><strong>Within Me An Invincible Summer</strong></a> (61657 words) by <a href="http://archiveofourown.org/users/thrace"><strong>thrace</strong></a><br />Chapters: 12/12<br />Fandom: <a href="http://archiveofourown.org/tags/The%20100%20(TV)">The 100 (TV)</a><br />Rating: Not Rated<br />Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings<br />Relationships: Clarke Griffin/Lexa<br />Characters: Clarke Griffin, Lexa (The 100), Abby Griffin<br />Summary: <p>Clarke spends the winter resenting Lexa. </p><p>But seasons change, and so do people.</p>

Clexa fic rec masterlist

1. She by thefooliam- This fic is probably the number one popular Clexa modern au and one of the top fics period (in my opinion, is number one; I’m so weak for Clexa modern aus). Clarke and Lexa are paired together as college roommates, much to their dismay, but they’re fucking soulmates. This fic is so well-written, it’s one of the very best pieces of writing I’ve ever read (and I have a BA in English literature) in its depiction of real, meant-to-be love, and honest to God it just feels so real, it’s so Special, and even if you don’t ship Clexa, even if you aren’t LGBT, seriously EVERYONE should read this damn fic okay, because it’s amazing. Also, I feel like the author is psychic and someone took a peek into my life and the development of my relationship with my wife back when we fell in love in college, and wrote it down just for me. It’s just so special to my heart and I hope this fic stays up forever. I hope she converts the names to OC and publishes this book. I will buy  it. God, I will buy it and read it every fucking day of my life, that is how much I love this fic. I reread this at least once a month. 65,983 words, completed.

2. We Looked Like Giants by colonelpancake04

One of the earliest Clexa fics I read. I can’t even describe why exactly I love this little nugget so much. It’s a modern au about Octavia’s cousin Lexa moving in with them and she is totally off limits to Clarke because of that, but of course, fuckin’ soulmates, they can’t resist each other. I love their first time and they just make me smile. A lovely fic and one of my top 3 faves. I reread it often. 21,537 words, completed.

3. I’d Give Up Forever to Touch You by geralehane

I’m probably going to hell for how much I love this fic. Pretty much every chapter is delightfully sinful smut. Clarke and Lexa are two girls that are forced to live together when Abby is dating Lexa’s father. They ‘hate’ each other and they’re freaking out because once Clarke’s mom and Lexa’s dad marries, they’ll legally be step-siblings, but they’re fucking soulmates and they can’t keep their hands off each other. They love each other so much, real love. The dynamic between them is hilarious, I love partygirl!Clarke/asshole!Clarke paired with sexynerdyfocuseddriven!Lexa, and I just love this fic. I reread this all the time too. 49,762 words, completed.

Other favorites (after about 5, these aren’t really in any particular order, I love them all so much):

4. More Women Than Warriors by Steklir

This fic is incomplete but still in top 5 favorites. It’s incredibly well-written, descriptive and gorgeous, and this author too is one of those rare gems that is able to really put across in her writing knowledge of what real love feels like. It’s a british boarding school au, Clarke is from America but transfers there, Nia is the mean lil ice queen here too, Lexa is the badass, dedicated Heda, and she and Clarke are hopelessly in love, total soulmates. Trigedasleng is cleverly integrated in this fic, and Clexa’s relationship is beautiful. I’m so weak for it. 98,441 words, in progress.

5. They take their shots but we’re bulletproof by nightshifted

A canonverse au, one of the first Clexa fics I read. Clarke is PISSED at Lexa after the end of season 2, but Lexa finds her and makes sure she’s cared for. They play chess and talk and it’s just wonderful. 9,539 words, complete.

6. Ground and Pound by dance_tilyouredead

This is an MMA au with Clarke and Lexa as rivals going to throw down, the world can’t help but ship them, and fuck, they practically ship themselves. They try to maintain that rivalry and hate one another but, come on…again…soulmates. I love this fic because even when they’re fighting, the thirst is so real. 19,336 words, complete.

7. Blood rush in the hazy glow by firetestsgold

A modern au where Clarke is a college kid who relentlessly keeps going to the locals favorite bar because she can’t resist challenging the broody mysterious Lexa, all dark leather and darker eyeliner. I love the love/hate dynamic and eventual relationship. 59,256 words, complete.

8. You See the Smile That’s On My Mouth (it’s hiding the words that don’t come out) by heartshapedcandy

A childhood modern au where Clarke and Lexa are fuckin soulmates and best friends and it takes them a ridiculous amount of time to figure that out. 48,667 words, complete.

I also feel like I should mention I have loved you since we were eighteen (long before we both thought the same thing) by forbiddenquill, but it’s incomplete and hasn’t been updated since November of 2015 :( It’s another childhood au where they take way too long to realize they’re soulmates.

9. Are you a kidnapper? (Because you abducted my heart) by 707

Clarke and Lexa have ‘hated’ each other since childhood, partly because of the sexual tension between them. When they’re kidnapped and trapped together, that sexual tension comes to a head. 61,373 words, in progress.

10. Where There Is A Flame by eternaleponine

This fic is MAJOR slowburn. Chapters are very short and updated twice a week; Clexa don’t properly meet until like after chapter 50, I can’t remember the exact chapter. Lexa is depressed and in a bad place after losing Costia, Clarke is not in a great place either because Finn is a creepy stalker, and the two girls end up helping one another out, becoming friends, and falling in love. Their relationship is heart-achingly beautiful and it’s well-written. 153,810 words, in progress.

11. Lover in Low Light by chrmdpoet

I mean, anything charmed writes is going to be great, and this certainly is. It aches your heart, how much these characters are meant to be. They’re soulmates who were split up but find each other again 5 years later, and even though they’re both in relationships and try to fight it, come on, soulmates, they can’t! My favorite parts of this fic are definitely the flashbacks (especially the library ones hehe) and I whole-heartedly wish there was a big prequel to this with all those flashbacks expanded upon just because I love it so much. 85,157 words, complete.

12. Help, I Need Somebody (Not Just Anybody) by thesummerofrain

Poor Lexa is totally fucked up from losing Costia, and Clarke is a volunteer on a chat line that ends up helping her. It’s heartbreaking, sweet, and Clarke and Lexa are adorable. Unfortunately it hasn’t updated since May, but I have hope it’s going to update again. 85,604 words, in progress.

13. An army of one by gostorain

Military academy au, Clarke and Lexa are totally adorable. This hasn’t updated since May either…but again, I have hopes! 55,190 words, in progress.

14. Heads Up, Eyes Open by Superskygrounder

15. Break Your Plans by pizzaoctavia

Lexa is a hockey player in this au too. Linctavia’s sexcapades force Clarke to go over to Lincoln’s apartment to study, and his roommate Lexa usually happens to be there too. 82,951 words, in progress.

16. I Wanna Be (One Night Stand) by seaunicorn and Possibility Days by adreamaloud and daneorange are both fics celeb au fics that are great! The first one is where Lexa’s the daughter of a hotshot hollywood producer and Clarke’s a big celeb shooting her father’s movie and she shouldn’t get with her (but totally does), and the second fic is where Lexa is an actress too who shouldn’t fall in love with her co-star Clarke (but totally does). Both great! The first is 9023 words and complete; the second is 30,026 words and complete too.

17. But still good by thrace

This is a cute fluffy modern au where Clarke has to take Octavia’s kids to a soccer game and meets Lexa, who happens to be the hot coach. 46,959 words, complete.

18. Easy O by Avarosier

Lexa’s next-door neighbor is always having super loud sex that Lexa can’t (really can’t) get out of her head, so when Clarke asks Lexa to be a nude model, of course she’s not going to say no. I actually wish this was longer and had smut in it, but I still love it. 3418 words, complete.

19. Pink Skittles by Avarosier

Clarke and Lexa do this film project that involves two strangers kissing, but that sexual thirst means it doesn’t end there. Lexa also has a tongue piercing Clarke is very fascinated with. 4270 words, complete.

Oh my God I LOVE this fic, one of my very favorites right now.

Super cute, well-written, and an HP au! 58,153 words, in progress.

22. Love on the Ground by Heda’s wolf (the baddest wolf)

This!! fic!!! is fucking fantastic. Canon-verse, angsty, so, so good. Just read it. 18,753 words, complete.

23. When Love Becomes the Reason by clarkesquad

28. Once Upon a Confession by AntaresChild

A modern au AKA Lexa is an innocent cupcake until she accidentally gets high on a brownie and admits her gayness to her roommate Clarke, who then takes Lexa under her wing and brings her into her super gay, sinful partygirl lifestyle.

Welp that’s it for now. Please keep in mind that these are only 65 fics out of literally thousands of incredible fanfics. There are plenty of wonderful ones I forgot to list! But I have over 400 bookmarks on ao3 so feel free to peruse them.

If you want an average-sized fic, I have All That You Got (Skin to Skin, oh my God), about Clexa from childhood up to college. Kind of a childhood friends au, a high school au, and a college au.

It’s an hp au where Clarke just wants to get through her last year at Hogwarts in peace, her world having been upended a year ago when her father was mysteriously arrested and sent to Azkaban, but instead she finds herself in the middle of conspiracies when she’s chosen as Champion. She definitely shouldn’t fall in love with the enemy, Durmstrang’s Champion Lexa Woods, who is full of secrets and every bit as determined not to develop feelings, but of course, they’re fuckin soulmates, they belong together! (This takes place 100 years after the events of Harry Potter, too). It’s 303,659 words thus far and I update long chapters (between 10,000 to 30,000) usually once a month.

If anyone wants to reblog and add their own favorites, please feel free!!! Let’s spread the love (and I am always up for new Clexa fics to read)

Q: Is what you like to write the same as what you like to read?

A: Yes, I am writing sci-fi and enjoy reading sci-fi. However, I also enjoy reading many genres of writing. Even non-fiction.

Throwback to all these Jesus comics I drew in 2012…
